Just started this a few weeks ago. Toast English Muffin with cheddar on one side and moz shreds and pepper jack shreds on the other. Take a microwave bowl and spray with Pam. Crack an egg into bowl micro for 40 sec and place on muffin. Very good, quick and clean.

If you've ever stood over your sink painstakingly peeling tiny bits of shattered eggshell from your hard-boiled eggs, you understand the true feeling of frustration. Since we haven't yet mastered the whole "patience" thing, we want to share a brilliant egg-peeling trick with you that'll save you time and temper tantrums.

If your hard-boiled eggs are going to end up being sliced in half, made into deviled eggs, or chopped up into egg salad, this trick is a life-saver. (It's not for those of you looking to preserve a whole egg, but who needs that anyway?)

The above video demonstrates the embarrassingly simple process: Boil your egg, cool it down, and slice it in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Then slide a teaspoon or tablespoon (depending on the size of your egg) in between the egg's shell and the egg white (making sure to keep the egg's "skin" intact) and gently pop out the egg. It'll slide right out of the shell, without a bit of shell attached. Voila!

Another way to make it easy to peel the shell off, got this from someone at work.

- boil your eggs.

- depending on how many eggs you boil, get a small/med/lrg bowl, and fill with ice, and water.

- after eggs finish boiling take the pot off the hot stove, and scoop the eggs out with a spoon, or use tongs. Let the eggs sit in the cold water for a few minutes.

- put the eggs back into the hot water you boiled them in for a few minutes.

- put them back into the ice water for a few minutes.

- peel eggs with ease and enjoy.

This is 6-10 minutes, but from my experience I just crack the egg and 9/10 times the shell just peels off whole. What happens is when you put it from cold to hot to cold it makes the skin shrink, expand and shrink, this eases the problem of peeling the egg since the skin is detached from the shell. For some reason it works better putting it back into the hot water. I tried just putting it into the cold water and then peeling and seem to still have a tough time peeling it, not as tough as just taking it out of the hot water, but still some of the eggs were still tough to peel.

That's pretty cool! Wonder how long those eggs were cooked and if cooking time would make any difference to get that to work?

Egg question: Does it seem to y'all like it takes more scrambled eggs to make a meal than fried? Two eggs fried seems like plenty but two scrambled seems like nothing. If I'm eating scrambled it's going to be more like five or six.
